Default STO/T1 Runoffs race now posted on speedcasttv.com.....

Good footage of both classes IMHO when it is hard to give 2 races full coverage. Seeing this race from the outside just gives me a headache though. It's pretty clear that Tuckers 430 was loafing around again doing just enough to win the race while John B. burned the Viper to the ground trying to keep pace, just as Lance had to do last year. If SCCA does not reclass the 430 to STO or GT2 next year it will lose even more of my confidence as a club. All of our in-house debates about different Corvettes didn't help when the elephant in the room has always been the 430.

Congrats to all the podium guys one more time, hopefully next year we can sort out some of the lingering questions!

I thought someone posted in the other thread that he broke a torque tube.

Yeah, watched it today and all I can say is for all the T1 guys. There is nothing anyone could have done in a domino effect. So thankfull everyone was ok and just a little rattled.

I was really hoping they would have shown a better overhead view of the mid-pack pile up. They probably edited a bunch out I'm sure.

I would still love to see your video Joe! I talked to Jason and he said he is trying to get his edited and posted.

Congrats to Tucker and Dave P. on there wins.
